| Abstract: In this paper we propose a method for scoliosis
screening based on mathematical model of linear fuzzy space
and image processing using self-organizing maps. Taking into
account that the number of school age children with some sort
of a spine deformity in Serbia exceeds 27%, this paper’s
research came out of a need to develop and implement some
novel, effective and primarily economical methods for
automated diagnostics of some spine disorders. The ultimate
goal however is to produce a suite of mobile applications
capable of automated diagnostic of some spine disorders, which
could be used by non-medically educated school personal for
the purpose of early diagnosis i.e. screening for those spine
disorders within adolescents (when the early physical therapy
and scoliotic bracing proves to be most effective, and thus least
monetary demanding compared to some other invasive means of
clinical therapy). |
